the zimbabwean dollar

from todays west
inflation is at two million percent
prices are doubling every two to three days
the highest value banknote is $Z50 billion
that will buy you a can of baked beans
a kilo of mince sets you back$Z490 billion
sausages $Z170 billion
some prices have trebled since a week ago when toilet paper
worked out at just under $Z22 million for a single sheet
there was none in the supermarket yesterday but by now
there is probably an alternative use for the $Z50 million note
